@manucorporat Sorry, I did not get about what are you talking.

@manucorporat
If you are talking about https://github.com/silkimen/cordova-plugin-advanced-http than it's not a problem to use that on the app.
But in case of app which is used as an app (on device) and a website (in browser) then need to implement something like (which is the case now for all my apps)

if (isApp) {
// make a call with HTTP native plugin
} else {
// make a call with angular Http
}

And it's not really convenient.

doesn't your idea have the same problem?

from cordova-plugin-ionic-webview.

Nope.
Since we are calling /api/... (by angular http) on the app it will call http://localhost:8080/api/... (coz index.html is loaded from http://localhost:8080/index.html) and redirected to https://my-server.com/api and on the web it will call http://my-server.com/api (coz index.html is loaded from http://my-server.com/index.html) .
Then on the server, it's a role of the web server to forward requests /api to the back end.

It is very unlikely this will be ever be part of this repo, since it is not related with WK stuff or the app correctly, but a specific limitation of not implementing CORS.

I would suggest to look or create a new cordova plugin that only implements the proxy feature. I would be happy to add it to this section in the docs: https://ionicframework.com/docs/wkwebview/#i-cant-implement-cors
